This paper clarifies that the Jeans model is self-consistent, effectively debunking the myth of the so-called 'Jeans Swindle' in astrophysics.
Contribution
It demonstrates that the supposed 'Jeans Swindle' is a misconception, affirming the validity of the Jeans model.
Findings
The Jeans model is self-consistent.
The 'Jeans Swindle' is a myth.
